ln lilo'. 5 i huvc illuiiti'aitcd n pugo ll sub dividcd into dctuclmblc scctons /i by vciticnl lines of weakness, such as perfor-ations. These detachable sections /l are twelve in number, and each section bears the name or abbreviation of one month of the year, the lirst month being' indicated on the outer section of the pag'e and the names of the other months eX- tendingtherefrom in reverse order, the name of the last month being indicated on the inner section nearest the binding. Thenever the pupil is absent, such absence is not only indicated upon the page IC devoted to such pupil, Fig. S, but the number by which said pupil is designated in the space fr of page E is also entered upon page H underneath the name of the month during which such absence occurs. At the end of each month the strip pertaining to that month is torn oli" from the page (shown in Fig. 5) and handed to the superintendent or other general officer of the Sunday-school, thus enabling him to keep a complete record of the attendance of the Sunday-school by means of such numbers, which record may be verified any time by reference to the pag'es, Fig. 8, of the various class-books in charge of the teachers. It will be observed that each strip /t is provided with a small blank space j near the top of the strip underneath the name of the month. By this means the various classes may be numbered or lettered and the class number or letter entered in the space y' before tearing oftA the strip.

Briefly describing the use of my invention and assuming that the combined hooks or envelops have been distributed among the various classes of the Sunday-school, each teacher will first enter the names and addresses of all the pupils in the class on pages E, the name and address of the teacher being also entered upon the outer face of the cover A, together with class number or letter and the depart nient number, if any. Fach Sunday thereafter the teacher will turn to those pages E which contain the names of the absent pupils and make a cross in the square c pertaining to the date on which such pupils are absent. On taking the collection the envelop is passed around and the collected moneys dropped into the pocket formed by the flaps r/,f rt' and the coverA. On ascertaining the amount ol the collection the same is entered in the chart on the exterior face of the cover B, or if a missionaryeollection in the space provided therefor on page F. The teacher then fills out the strip /zl on page H by inserting' the num bers of the absent pupils therein. After the record is completed the Aflap D is folded over the cover B and held in folded position by means of a rubber band or in any other convenient manner, the envelop B being then handed to in charge of the device, and, if desired, the

general officer may also be required to make the entry of the collection upon the cover B or page F, the same thus constituting a receipt for the amount turned over by the teacher.

Having thus described my invention, what Iclaim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. ln a device of the described class, the combination of inclosing covers; a set of leaves forming interior pages, each having lines delining an appropriately designated central space; and a surrounding' chart containing the dates upon which the pupil is expected to be present, said chart being provided with lines delining blank spaces adjacent to each date; together with a single page divided, by tearinglines, into a series of vertical strips, each strip having characters at its upper end, a portion of each such strip being' left blank.

2. In a device of the described class, the combination of inclosing` covers; of a pocket formed upon the inner face of the covers; a set of leaves forming interior pages, each having lines delining an appropriately-designated central space; and a surrounding chart contain? ing the dates upon which the pupil is expected to be present, said chart being` provided with lines defining delinite blank spaces adjacent to each date, each such page being' also provided with one additional delinitely-ontlined space; together with a single page divided by tearing-lines into a series of strips partially blank but having a time designation at one end.

3. ln a device of the described class, the combination of inclosing covers; a set of leaves forming interior pages, cach having lines deiining an appropriately-designated central space; a surrounding chart containing' the dates upon which the pupil is expected to be present, said chart being provided with lines defining blank spaces adjacent to each date for entries with reference to the attendance of the pupil, each such page being also provided with an additional definitely outlined space; together with a single page divided by tearinglines into a series of strips partially blank but containing a time designation, each strip being also provided with an independently-outlined blank space.

4. In adeviee of the described class, the combination of a set of inclosing covers, one of said covers being provided with side Aiaps folded inwardly and connected to form a pocket on the inner face of the cover, said cover being also provided with an end flap adapted to fold over the end of the other cover when the device is closed, and one of said side liaps being extended in the direction of the binding and permanently engaged in the binding', whereby the lower end of said pocket is closed; and a series of charted leaves bound between ysaid covers.'
